This book is searing indictment of the many ways that United States and Canadian governments have plundered the lands and resources that various indigenous tribes and peoples hold dear, and how that abuse continues to wreak havoc on the people of those tribal nations and the flora and fauna of their surrounding areas. It's bleak, but it's an incredibly important history.

Loved this book. Very statistical, but yet very compelling with a modest amount of theory. The numbers simply speak for themselves. The dominant culture has forced indigenous cultures to struggle just to retain their own self and way of life, at every turn. It never gives up in it's attempt to eradicate. And thankfully, there are good people who never give up that struggle against the oppressors: government and industry, fueled by racism and the myth of "progress". I WOULD recommend, and I certainly am interested in reading more of this author's writing.
